What is time?
The concept of time is self-evident. An hour consists of a certain number of minutes, a day of hours and a year of days. But we rarely think about the fundamental nature of time. view more (2005-04-13)
XMM-Newton digs into the secrets of fossil galaxy clusters
Taking advantage of the high sensitivity of ESA's XMM-Newton and the sharp vision of NASA's Chandra X-Ray space observatories, astronomers have studied the behaviour of massive fossil galaxy clusters, trying to find out how they find the time to form- view more (2006-05-01)
Destruction of fruit bats` habitat could spread disease
New agricultural developments are destroying the habitats of protected fruit bat species in Australia, and could lead to the spread of deadly viral diseases to humans and farm animals, medical experts heard today (Friday 11 January 2002) during a joint meeting of the European Societies of Clinical and Veterinary Virology and the Society for... view more...

First direct evidence that human activity is linked to Antarctic Ice Shelf collapse
The first direct evidence linking human activity to the collapse of Antarctic ice shelves is published this week in the Journal of Climate. view more (2006-10-17)
Future climate change in North-Western Europe may come as a shock
North-Western Europe could be in for some sudden climatic surprises in the future, say scientists speaking at the launch of a new book on global environmental change*. North-Western Europe is kept warm by an ocean current known as the North Atlantic Current, an extension of the Gulf Stream which brings warm water from the tropics to the north.... view more...

Wrinkled membranes create novel drug-delivery system
A University of Illinois scientist studying how membranes wrinkle has discovered a novel system for on-demand drug delivery. view more (2006-02-15)
Nasal plastic surgery improves airway function
Nasal plastic surgery appears to improve nasal airway function in patients with severe nasal obstructions. view more (2006-09-19)
Predicting Volcanic Eruptions
The weather forecast could help predict volcanic eruptions, according to new research from the University of East Anglia (UEA). Scientists from UEA`s School of Environmental Sciences found that intense rainfall can trigger volcanic dome collapse - a particular type of eruption that occurs when a build-up of molten rock inside the side of the... view more...

Bumblebee house warming — it takes a village
Researchers have known that a key to the insects' success in adapting to cooler climates is their ability to maintain fairly stable body temperatures when flying to flowers. view more (2007-01-19)
Stressed cells spark DNA repair missteps and speed evolution
When Dr. Susan Rosenberg, professor of molecular and human genetics at Baylor College of Medicine, first published her finding that the mutation rate increased in bacteria stressed by starvation, sometimes resulting in a rare change that benefited the bacteria, it was controversial. view more (2005-09-16)
Commercial fishing causes dangerous fluctuations in fish populations
Commercial fishing causes serious fluctuations in fish populations leaving them in danger of total collapse, says new research published today. view more (2006-10-19)
How do massive stars form?
Massive stars play a key role in the chemical and dynamical evolution of galaxies. The way massive stars form is still much debated among the astronomers' community: it is currently one of the hottest astrophysical topics. view more (2005-11-09)
Supernova birth seen for first time
Astronomers have seen the aftermath of spectacular stellar explosions known as supernovae before, but until now no one has witnessed a star dying in real time. view more (2008-05-22)
Worker ants store fat to share with colony members during times of need
In a fascinating new study from the September/October 2006 issue of Physiological and Biochemical Zoology, Daniel A. Hahn (University of Florida) explores the ability of ants to store excess fat and pass it to colony members through lipid-rich oral secretions or unfertilized eggs. view more (2006-07-27)
Breakup of glaciers raising sea level concern
The rapid structural breakdown of some important parts of the ice sheets on Greenland and Antarctica is possible, has happened in the distant past, and some "startling changes" on the margin of these ice masses has been observed in recent years - raising disturbing concerns about sea level rise. view more (2005-10-21)
Therapeutic Cloning No Longer A Dream, Says Scientist Who Produced First Cloned Embryonic Stem Cell
A member of the team who were the first in the world to produce stem cells from a cloned human embryo told the 20th annual conference of the European Society for Human Reproduction and Embryology on Wednesday 30 June that the work could generate potentially unlimited undifferentiated stem cells. These could eventually be used for tissue repair and... view more... (2004-06-30)
Tracking a hot spot
Using a state-of-the-art satellite imagery technique, researchers are able to more precisely predict volcanic activity, bringing them steps closer to understanding where an eruption may occur. view more (2007-05-18)
Northwest Atlantic Ocean ecosystems experiencing large climate-related changes
Ecosystems along the continental shelf waters of the Northwest Atlantic Ocean—from the Labrador Sea south of Greenland all the way to North Carolina—are experiencing large, rapid changes, report oceanographers funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in the Feb. 23, 2007, issue of the journal Science. view more (2007-02-26)
NASA's Chandra sees brightest supernova ever
The brightest stellar explosion ever recorded may be a long-sought new type of supernova, according to observations by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and ground-based optical telescopes. view more (2007-05-08)
Discovery points to more effective ways of regulating cell signalling
A discovery made at The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute provides new insights into enhancing the function of the protein SOCS3, which regulates the response of cells to external stimuli. view more (2006-04-21)
